Surrender, Part 2

         No eye has seem, no ear has hear, no mind has conceived what 
           God has prepared for those who love him. I Corinthians 2:9

            Surrendering yourself was just the first step one must take to grasp the whole picture of what God has in store for your life. When you have surrendered yourself and your innermost being that is an act of worship unto our Lord. That is just one way that you are showing God the love that you have for him, because you are offering yourself as a living scarifies to God for a better and more rewarding life. That is amazing and you should be excited to look ahead and know that God has a plan for your life. 
            The next step you need to take is giving up the right to change your spouse, your children, your family and friends. You can’t change them for who you think they should become and you don’t have the right to run their lives. Only God can change someone. Once again that is where you will lay those circumstances before the Lord and tell Him that you have no control over their lives and you are surrendering the right to change them and their lives. God knows what’s best and He knows what is best for everyone. 
            Are you one of those people that have to be in control? The fear of letting go of something you don’t have control of is frightening. Don’t be fearful and don’t let pride get in the way of letting go of some type of control that you shouldn’t have. You are not a weak person to surrender yourself or your spouse or even your children. That is a wise move, for you are showing God that he is the God of heaven and earth. Most importantly that he is your heavenly father and as a child of God He knows what is best for his children. Remember, “God created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother’s womb, you know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.” Psalm 139 1-13
            He knows everything about us. He knows what we are going to say before we say it. He knows what we are going to do before we do it. Good or bad and he still loves us. Pray to the Lord on all occasions and all types of request and He will teach you how to surrender so you will become a better spouse, a better parents, a better friend, a better person of God. It is not just yourelf you are surrendering control of. It is everything, spouse, children, situations, illnesses, work, confusions, and problems of all kinds. Surrender them with a willing heart to the Go of miracles.
